Last week I said I’d try to have a version of my “Let’s quickly cover everything I’ve done a post on so far so that I can get back into doing .hack//Sign posts,” post, this time with images, done by this week. As indicated by the link, I did that.

The third, most serious, and longest version is one in which the heroes actually act like heroes and have been doing so for the whole time. Thus not only is their reaction to discovering the pool completely different, but their situation is different because they’ve handled the discovery of Octesian’s bracelet, the discovery of a burned villiage, and the encounter with the sea Serpent like heroes actually would which kind of, sort of, changes everything. (Also no mind whammy, because wtf?)

In Case You Missed This

No one submitted anything this week.

Things You Can Do

Name a good charity worthy of 50 dollars:
I [froborr] don’t know if this fits under any of the categories, but I had a request for all Slacktiversians: The condition for my brother giving me one of the iPhones he was planning on donating to charity was that I donate $50 to the charity of my choice. I need help picking a charity! Currently I’m leaning toward Planned Parenthood, because they seem to be pretty unambiguously The Good Guys… on the other hand, a friend of mine recently worked very briefly as a street-level fundraiser for them and they treated her like shit. So, any suggestions are welcome.

The Biggest Loser is not, in any meaningful way, a good show. It promotes unhealthy practices (weight-loss through extreme dehydration is known to be something used by participants, for example), encourages bullying, sends negative messages, and so forth. So various people have an understandably negative reaction to the fact that US First Lady Michelle Obama will be appearing on it again. If you happen to be one of those people there is a petition for you here. It is aimed at convincing her not to go on the show and instead, you know, talk to people who understand the damage these things do.
